Happy Monday, First name / friend!
Your cake is in the oven, you're waiting for the timer to beep. You're so anxious about the state of your dessert that every few minutes you open the oven door to peek at the progress. And in the end… does this cake seem a little deflated to you?
Worry is often cake-sabotage — er, self-sabotage. We all need a reminder now and then to just let the cake bake. So before you get to stressed waiting for your situation to pan out, ask yourself:
- What is in my control?
- What is my responsibility to control?
Your only job is your job. It's not your responsibility to guarantee that the outcome of any given issue is perfect, and it's not your responsibility to guarantee that everyone is happy all the time. You get to do your part, to the best of your ability. And then just let that cake bake.
